The latest release of Mermaid is now available. We have new features in this release of Mermaid and have also made a number of performance improvements.

New Features

MM-1370: Report a summary table for vessels on Outputs.

We have added a Vessel Summary Table (shown below) to the results options. This table details costs, durations and visits on a per vessel basis. This chart is added in the usual way and includes the option to export to Excel.

Improvements

MM-2072: Redesign Assets tab to improve performance with many vessels.

The Assets tab (shown below) has been changed to improve the experience of editing a MER file with many vessels.
The left-hand panel details the vessels in the analysis and the right-hand panel shows the selected vessel details. One or more vessels can be selected for editing at a time. The single vessel view has been expanded to show both tables and charts whilst the multi-vessel view maintains the previous mode switching option.

MM-2079: Speed up simulator by 25%.

We have made some changes to the core Mermaid Simulator. These changes increase the simulation speed by 25%.

MM-2078: Improve the speed of creating new functions.

MM-2037: Speed up the renaming of results sources in the Analyse tab.

Renaming a source in the Analyse tab was cumbersome and slow. It is now much quicker.
